Designed for players looking for a nylon-stringed instrument with a feel closer to that of a steel-stringed axe, the Fusion Series Orchestra CE from Cordoba is a nylon-string classical guitar with a single-cutaway design, an onboard preamp for amplification, a built-in digital tuner, and more. It sports a solid western red cedar top alongside rosewood back and sides, all of which foster a warm sound.
The mahogany neck provides a 25.5” scale, an ebony fingerboard, and 19 frets. Its nut width is slightly narrower than most classical instruments at 48mm, and thus, is more suitable for steel-string and electric players looking to add a nylon axe to their arsenal. Also provided is an adjustable truss rod to ensure that the neck stays straight. A rosewood bridge affixes strings to the body. At the headstock, you’ll find Cordoba Silver Tuning Machines.
For electronics, this instrument is outfitted with a Fishman Presys Blend preamp system, an undersaddle piezo pickup, and an internal microphone. The preamp system provides bass, middle, and treble controls as well as a notch knob for eliminating feedback and a mic blend control to balance the internal microphone with the pickup. You’ll get an overall volume knob and a mic trim pot to further adjust levels. Also provided are a phase knob for further feedback busting and a built-in tuner.
